Tent Named to TIME100 Most Influential Companies ListWe work with the world’s largest employers to connect refugees to jobs.
A New Approach to Supporting Refugees
Companies have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate into the labor market. We focus on mobilizing leading businesses to connect work-authorized refugees to employment through hiring, training, and mentorship – because we know that a job is the most important milestone for a refugee to restart their life.
Connecting Refugees To Jobs At Scale
We work with leading companies across the Americas and Europe to connect refugees to jobs at scale, harnessing what employers do best to overcome refugees’ pervasive exclusion from the workforce.
Hiring
Companies can strengthen their workforce by hiring and welcoming refugees into their teams.
Connecting To Work
Companies can connect refugees to work through their suppliers, vendors, or clients.
Training
Companies can set up training programs to help refugees become job-ready or secure higher-skilled roles.
Mentoring
